Why Perusall?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Perusall<\/a> is an e-reader platform that allows students and faculty to annotate assigned readings, text, video and more. It allows for social engagement that is like social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about pedagogical applications, read Perusall’s Student Collaboration<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explore feature updates, see the Perusall Blog<\/a> or their changelog<\/a> for ongoing updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n

Perusall has been a free service with no ads supported by users, by institutions that purchase licenses, and by publishers when an ebook is assigned through their catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perusall added a new step to the course setup process. Instructors creating a course using free materials at an institution without a license will be asked to choose an access fee for students. Perusall suggests instructors choose $15, but you may choose $0<\/strong>. Learn more about Course Choice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
